The June number would indicate as much,
being equal to its best.
Major Brooker, a leading prohibitionist
and a veteran citizen of San Antonio, had
Mayor Callaghan and sundry other members
of the city government arrested under the
United States law for complicity in the late
mobocratic proceedings in that city. The
case has been in progress before the U. S.
Commissioner for about a week, and as we
write is still in progress. Mayor Callaghan
at first refused to give bond, and sought to
treat the matter with contempt and deris-
ion, but afterwards thought better of it, and
with his associates gave bond. The testi-
mony shows that the mayor was present
during the lawless proceedings, and made
no effort to maintain order, hut on the con-
trary laughed over the affair as a good joke.
We venture to say he does not regard it as
so funny by this time. Whatever may be
the result, the bringing of the suit was a
proper thing. It will teach the city govern-
ment of San Antonio that they cannot give
practical sympathy to the hoodlum- element
on U. S. soil with impunity.

San Marcos, and its eligibility in that re-

state that only three times within five

of sickness has occurred there during that
time.
The leading piano used at the Commence-
ment exercises of Coronal Institute was a
Wheeiock, from the music store of II. H.
Hazard & Co., Austin, which enterprising
firm furnished it gratis for the occasion.
Music being a specialty of the Institute,
and the teachers experts, it afforded a good
test of the merits of the instrument, which
we learn were fully verified on the occasion.

Women -as Temperance Lecturers.-
We are sorry to see that in this day of
light and knowledge, even here in Texas,
where the ravages of liquor selling and
drinking are so well known, there are
those who are opposed to hearing the voice
of women speaking in public on the sub-
ject of temperance. Now w-e believe if any
.persons have cause to lJpry.aloud_aud. sparfi_
not” in this temperance campaign, they cer-
tainly are the women of our land. None
have to suffer from the scourge of intem-
perance like women;' victimized as they
too often are by the horrors of inebriate
husbands, brothers and sons. Surely, of
all others, women, so ioug crushed by the
burden of this great evil, should be encour-
aged to labor in this cause with voice aud
pen, ana every legitimate means for the
purpose of helping on this great and much-
needed reform.
The W. C. T. U. have done and are do-
ing rt noble work in this line, aud so far,
the few female lecturers who have come
into bur state, v.r9 think, have been well
received. We hope that the time is at hand
when not an objection, by even a few, will
be raised against the platform efforts of
good women and true; who, armed m de-
fence of temperance, seek to fight and as-
sist in vanquishing this, demon of evil, whose
victims have been slain by thousands on
every side. Mary C. Billings.

Public School House (Juostion.
Apropos of the proposition to build a
new free school building for our city, it is
reported there is a majority of our city
council oppose. With all due respect to
these gentlemen permit me to give a few
“facts in the case.”
It is obvious that the demand of our city
is a good rock or brick school building,
costing with necessary apparatus, not. less
than $10,000, and the question is how can
or how shall we raise the amount? I
answer, “by issuing city bonds and ievying
a tax for their payment.”
Our present ad valorem assesssment is
$700,000 which may be taxed for the school
purpose, 25cts., on each $100 per year.
This will give us $1750 annually. Now
from this amount deduct $600 as interest
(for I presume our city cau barrow money
at 6 per cent) it will leave $1,150 to be
applied as a sinking fund. And each year
is a m o un taai'LrWhwaYM
it from- 10 to 12 per cent interest. This
'on see will in a few years pay us out of
aebt, and we will have a building and I
trust a school we cau point to with pride.
And not only this but. such accommodations
will induce other people to settle among us.
In this case, and in fact, in all probability,
judging from the present outlook, our city
will be growing in population and incidental
value making the amount received each
year more than the preceding one.
I might allude witn anything but pride to
our present inadequate school buildings, but
i refrain. I merely want to “set the ball
arolling” to ventilate this subject, for I ven-
ture to assert that the measure advised will
result iu “the greatest good to the greatest
number.”
Hoping some one will more ably continue
this subject, I remain,
Yours for free schools,
Chas. Hutchings,
We copy the above from the Cresset, and
trust that a public sentiment may be arous-

and others of like tenor, which shall con-
strain the opposition in the City Council to
fall in as one man in favor of the proposed
new public school building.

Scribner’s Magazine for June has for its
opening article a semi-historical and critical
essay, by John O. Ropes, entitled. “Some
Illustrations of Napoleon and his Times.”-
This is in a similar vein to “The Likenesses
of Julius Caesar,” which Mr. Ropes contrib-
uted to the February number of Scribner’s.
It is plentifully illustrated from the author’s
fine collection of Napoleon portraits. An-
other article will complete this interesting
study.
Iu “The Ethics of Democracy” Mr. F. J.
Stimson has set forth a few of the general-
izations to which he has been led by au elab-

stated a number of the general tendencies of
Democracy as shown in a wide range of leg-
islation on such subjects as Marriage, Di-
vorce, Socialism, and Intemperance.

We have long contended that our
Cotton Market is the best in the State
and every season the fact is more and
more manifest. This season, how-
ever, has so far afforded the best il-
lustration. We have received more
Cotton, sold it quicker and given bet-
ter satisfaction than any season since
we have been in business. All classes
of shippers have given us a trial this
season, and all classes have been
pleased with the result.
If you have not yet favored us with
shipments, we would strongly urge
you to turn your next consignment
to us. We have the means and fa-
cilities to please you. If you are
shipping elsewhere, we ask you to
divide you shipments with us and
compare results. If you have ship-
ped us before, and have been induced
to quit for some cause or other, you
may be sure that the cause was more
apparent than real, and all we want
is, a candid explanation and fair op-
portunity to make things right and
satisfactory. We don’t pretend to be
infallible, but we do claim that on
account of our long experience in the
business, thorough training and per-
fect organization, we can obtain the
very best results out of a lot of Cot

audience on so short notice. We cannot
andertake at this time to give even a synop-
sis of his address. Like all his efforts, it
was thorough and convincing, and at the
same time interesting aud attractive in the
delivery.
He was followed by Col. Swain in a brief
speech. While the lateness of the hour put
him at a disadvantage, we were glad that he
spoke, for he put in some good licks on the
financial question, showing up the fallacies
of Attorney General Hogg’s late letter.
From his former position as state comp-
troller, Col. Swain is well qualified for this
work. We hope our people may have an

A Bloody Ballot.
“Father in Heaven! Thy Kingdom Come!”
This is the way we Christians pray;
And yet we vote the demon Rum,
Over thy Kingdom sovereign sway.
'lNo Drunkard ever enters here! ”
Sounds forth from Heaven its fearful knell,
And yet we vote from year to year,
To plunge the drunkard into hell!
By votes we run the devil’s still;
By votes we kill God’s living grain;
By votes the drunkard’s cup we fill,
And doom him to eternal pain!
Who casts those votes? Thou, voter! thou!
Thy ballot damns these drunken souls! •
Thy brother’s blood is on it now,
Dropped, red and reeking at the polls!

“Mayor Callaghan has publicly an-

has claimed jurisdiction of the cases,
he will remit the recorder’s fines of
$50- each, imposed on Seela3 for
throAving the eggs, and John Young,
the barber, for shouting and disorder

any one, as it ivas expected he would

“expected,” dear Light, ifyom- “muni

take action for the arrest and punish-
